Abstract: This disclosure concerns compositions and methods for promoting transcription of a nucleotide sequence in a plant or plant cell, employing a promoter from a GmTEFs1 gene. Some embodiments relate to a promoter or a 5? UTR from a GmTEFs1 gene that functions in plants to promote transcription of operably linked nucleotide sequences. Other embodiments relate to a 3? UTR or a terminator from a GmTEFs1 gene that functions in plants to promote transcription of operably linked nucleotide sequences.

Abstract: This nail polish kit is designed to provide color and protection to fingernails with little effort on the part of a user. Primarily, it consists of a very thin colored body with a rounded end for substantail mating engagement with the cuticle of a person's finger. There are a multiple number of these articles in a kit and each is adhered to two paper strips that are peeled away to apply the body to the fingernails of a person's hand. The opposite end of the colored body also extends past the front of the fingernail for using scissors to cut it to conform to the curved extending end of the fingernail.
